How on earth are we supposed to be dominant in possession when no-one is pressing the opposition. Watched Bournemouth press Man City all over the pitch and they were close to getting a draw today. That half of football (if you can call it that) was appalling.

Yep, this looks like just the season before Benteke was bought. OK/acceptable defence but consistently being beaten by one goal due to toothless attack. Never mind Sakho, we need another striker now. Like Abraham you mean ? Totally agree. I find it amazing that we are going into the last week of August with 1 fit striker and 1 injured.

Cannot see it getting any better in the 2nd half. We are in big sh^t, I cannot see any decent player wanting to sign next week.

Palace have needed a change of Philosophy and tactics for a while but this does not work. Puncheon is not good enough and hasnt been for a while. I love the guy he is Palace but he just isnt good enough anymore. Defensively were very naive and going forward we lack ideas. Where is the movement? Through balls? We need someone with creativity and we dont have it. No matter what formation we play we will struggle, but this one doesnt do us any favours in attack or defence. 433 or 451 with this philosophy would work better in my opinon.

Time to end this miserable FDB strategy. Am watching on Dutch tv and the summarisers are literally laughing about how bad we are. To have any hope of getting enough results to survive we have to play to our strengths. Trying to take the team with the lowest possession stats last year and turn them into total football passers, is a total joke. We are already staring relegation in the face and we are only 3 games in. Awful.

I'd love to have sakho back but even he ain't saving this team from relegation if de boer is still managing this team in October we're finished and doogie ain't the answer either

Just so painful to watch, we are just like Sunderland a couple of season s ago. Getting ready for the championship. All I can say is something is very very wrong at Palace.
